A protist with diverse cellular forms and broad geographic distribution. The “acellular” moniker derives from the plasmodial stage of the life cycle: the plasmodium is a macroscopic multinucleate coenocyte shaped in a network of interlaced tubes. This stage of the life cycle, along with its preference for damp shady habitats, likely contributed to the original mischaracterization of the organism as a fungus.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BlobKits.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45274824310942,"sku":"310003809983","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/4382\/0446\/files\/slime_mold_sclerotia_physarum_polycephalum.jpg?v=1742795954","url":"https:\/\/blobkits.com\/products\/the-blob-physarum-polycephalum-sclerotia-sample-only-x-2","provider":"BlobKits.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
